This guitar is as simple as they come, but very well crafted and full of the EVH tone and vibe. The pickup has power to spare and the instrument responds and sounds like something at a much higher price. If you're a Van Halen fan, this is it!

The guitar is a decent value, with great tone, and a great neck. The finish is somewhat sub-par for the price. You can see where the masking was done to paint the stripes, and then the gloss was sprayed over. The FLoyd is supposed to sit flush against the body, but when I received the guitar, the fulcrum pins were to high, which meant the tremolo was too high in the front, and then leaned downward towards the back almost causing the D-Tuna to scratch the body. This was remedied though by lowering the trem at the front and then readjusting each string height.

The day I bought this guitar I was in the market for an amp. I played a few guitars in my local Sam Ash Store, and was unimpressed with the ones I tried. Then I played the black and red EVH Fender. I knew pretty quickly that I wasn't leaving the store without this guitar! The neck is amazing, is never sticky like finished necks, and I now prefer my neck this way. The sound is great, with plenty of sustain and crunch. I love the EVH Floyd Rose, too. It stays in tune even in the face of the deepest dives. I will compare this to my ORIGINAL EVH ART SERIES GUITAR and see how it compares. That one, of course, was set up and played by Eddie in concert...
